Solution Architecture

For B2B companies selling complex solutions to enterprises — who need the commercial and operational logic designed by someone who has been on both sides of the table.

The Gap Aarcher Fills

The space between understanding a requirement and designing a credible solution is where enterprise deals are won or lost.

Most companies have sales teams who understand the client and technical teams who understand the product. Very few have someone who can translate between both — and design a solution that is commercially sound, operationally deliverable, and presented with the language that enterprise procurement teams respond to.

For B2B Companies Responding to Complex RFPs and Enterprise Requirements

Solution Architecture for Complex B2B Offerings

Designing the commercial and operational logic of a complex B2B solution — whether for a technology platform, a managed service, a logistics contract, or a B2B portal. The architecture covers not just what you will deliver, but how you will deliver it, what it will cost, and why the client should believe you can.

What We Do

  • Requirements analysis: what the client actually needs vs. what they have asked for
  • Solution design: commercial model, operational model, technology stack
  • SLA and KPI framework design: committing to the right things
  • Implementation and transition plan design
  • Pricing model structuring: fixed price, open book, gain-share, subscription
  • Solution narrative: presenting the architecture in language that persuades
  • Red-team review: stress-testing before the client does
  • B2B portal and platform architecture advisory
